Check it out..... Axial's new 1/8 Yeti....

I was at a local hobby shop today checking out the 1/10 Yeti and I was honestly surprised on how big it is. It's bigger than a Slash!
I got to talking to the shop owner and he told me about the upcoming 25.75in/654mm long and 16.3/414mm wide 1/8 version..... I want one

It's awesome... Check out how close together the front lower controll arms are..... It just like the real off-road cars....
to many features to list... This looks like it could be the next best basher....

Very cool for sure. There's a lot more in depth discussion going on at another rc site that I frequent, not sure if I'm aloud to mention it but it is a very ultimate place to talk rc stuff

Here's another thread here with some more info.

Probably one of the best real world videos to date.

Wholly torque! Wonder if there is a way to control that? Would be hard to race with that right front wheel coming off the ground so much. This may be my first brushless vehicle...hmmmm......

Hey, that's an idea.... Imagine if they raced these things... Can't wait to see one ripping it up through some mud...

thats a lot of torque twist....

These are awesome to run. I just got mine a few days ago and I'm impressed but I will say the the stock servo is weak and completely inadequate for this size monster buggy. You can definitely control that torque twist with a little practice but rear stabilizer would be ideal.

4S is the sweet spot as others have said in reviews. I couldn't imagine 6S anything. But I like others trying to control big tires going over rough stuff....makes for an enjoyable afternoon watching crazy RCers on YouTube.
